DISCUSSING THE ISLAMIC REFORMATION IN CANADA

We need to get really good at counter-radicalization, Public Safety Minister Ralph Goodale recently argued. And he's right. But we won’t succeed at that until we add talk about the Islamic reformation into the mix. Yet media and politicians here never even reference the phrase.
And what is it? It’s the idea that Islam needs to “jump from totalitarian fundamentalism to enlightened, liberal religion,” as Foreign Policy magazine describes it. Sort of like the 16th century Christian reformation.
